Nada Johnson, MSW, RSW is a therapist supporting high-achieving women of color and Black women who are navigating burnout, workplace stress, family pressure, trauma, and identity-related challenges.
Her work centers women who are capable and accomplished, yet emotionally exhausted from carrying professional responsibility, navigating systemic inequities, and holding complex family roles — often all at once.
A Space Where You Don’t Have to Explain Yourself:
For nearly a decade, Nada has supported women facing racialized stress, discrimination, workplace inequities, family conflict, major life transitions, and the long-term impact of trauma.
She offers a warm, culturally aware space where clients can slow down, make sense of their experiences, and reconnect with clarity, confidence, and emotional steadiness — without having to minimize or justify what they’ve been carrying.
How Nada Works:
Nada’s approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and collaborative. She integrates clinical skill with deep respect for each client’s lived experience.
Therapy with Nada focuses on helping women:
- Reduce burnout and emotional overload
- Strengthen boundaries at work and within family relationships
- Process racialized or workplace-related stress and trauma
- Rebuild trust in themselves
- Move through life transitions with greater clarity and groundedness
Nada holds a Master of Social Work and is a Registered Social Worker in Ontario. Her work is informed by training in trauma-informed care, feminist approaches, anti-oppression, anti-racism, family mediation, and culturally responsive practice.
A Note on Other Work:
In addition to individual therapy, Nada also offers family mediation to support divorcing and separating parents in creating a parenting plan to effectively co-parent. Nada is a trained Family Mediator. Details about this offering can be found on her webpage.
Clients often describe Nada as compassionate, direct, and thoughtful — someone who can hold space for difficult conversations while remaining grounded and practical.
At the core of her work is a steady belief that healing and meaningful change are possible, even when the path forward feels uncertain.
She looks forward to supporting you.
